WETNOSE / BURGESS RESCUE AWARDS 2011
ARE YOU THE NEXT WETNOSE WINNER?
Animal rescue centres nationwide are being called upon to nominate themselves for the Wetnose Burgess Rescue Awards 2011.
Founded by not-for-profit organisation Wetnose Animal Aid, the annual Wetnose Awards, now in their second year, recognise the valuable and tireless work of small, independent rescue centres that help animals in the UK and overseas.
The awards seek to raise awareness of the fantastic job centres do in rescuing, caring for and rehoming abandoned animals, whilst highlighting the passionate, hardworking individuals ‘behind the scenes’ who selflessly devote their time to helping animals in need.
Headline sponsor Burgess Pet Care, one of the UK’s leading producers of high quality pet foods, is encouraging rescue centres across the country to give themselves a well-deserved pat on the back by nominating themselves for the Wetnose Burgess Rescue Awards 2011.
The winning rescue centres, judged by a panel from Wetnose, Burgess and another will be invited to a glittering afternoon awards ceremony in London in March 2011. The winner’s of each category will also have the opportunity to compete for a £500 cash prize for their centre and be awarded the ultimate title of ‘Wetnose Burgess Best UK Rescue Centre 2011”.
The inaugural Wetnose Awards in March 2010 was a star-studded affair, attracting widespread media attention and an array of animal-loving celebrities, including TV presenter Nick Knowles, Emmerdale’s Lorraine Chase and MP Ann Widdicome.
